Verse 1
I was bDorn to be of service
Camp LejAeune just felt like home
I had hEmonor, I found purpose
Sir, yes sGir
GThat's what I know
They sDent us to a place I never hAeard of weeks before
When you're nEmineteen, it ain't hard to sleep
In the dGesert on God's floor
Close your eyEmes, stop counting sheep
You ain't in bGootcamp anymore
[Instrumental]

Verse 2
We were tDaught to shoot our rifles
Man and wAoman, side by side
Thought we'd be mEmet as liberators
In a thGousand-year-old fight
I got this pDainful ringing in my ear
From an AIED last night
But no lEmead-lined Humvee war machine, could sGave my sergeant's life
Three more sEmoldiers, six civilians
Need these wGords to come out right
Chorus
GDod of mercy, GAod of light
SEmave your children fGrom this life
HDear these words, this hAumble plea
For EmI have seen the sGuffering
And wDith this prayer I'm hAopin'
That Emwe, can be unbrGoken
[Instrumental]

Verse 3
It's 18 mDonths now, I've been stateside
With this mAedal on my chest
But there are thEmings I can't remember
And there are thGings I won't forget
I lDie awake at night with dreams the dAevil shouldn't see
I wanna scrEmeam, but I can't breathe
And Christ, I am swGeating through these sheets
Where's my brEmothers? Where's my country?
Where's my hGow things used to be?
Chorus
GDod of mercy, GAod of light
SEmave your children frGom this life
HDear these words, this hAumble plea
For EmI have seen the sGuffering
And wDith this prayer I'm hAopin'
That Emwe, can be unbrDoken
Bridge
My sBmervice dog's done more for me
Than the mGedication would
There ain't no Dangel that's coming to save me
But Aeven if they could
Verse 4
TodDay, 22 will die from suicide
Just like yAesterday, they're gone
I live my lEmife for each tomorrow
So their memorGies will live on
Once we were bDoys, and we were strangers
Now we're brAothers and we're men
Someday you'll Emask me, was it worth it to be of servGice in the end?
Well, the blEmessing, and the curse is, yeah, I'd dGo it all again
